PoE 2024 - MAP DESTROYER BUILD | SIEGE BALLISTA HIEROPHANT BUILD GUIDE ( CHEAP, TANKY, SOLID DPS )

Hello ma boy, In case you don't know me or you just found my channel, know that I've been playing Siege Ballista for more than 4 years now ( more than 60% of my videos are Ballista related ). Did all the possible variations, from extreme poo-poo tier to Mirror of Kalandra items.. This version here will satisfy everyone, has the perfect balance of defenses, cost and offenses. This build was designed to be A GREAT T16 MAP BLASTER! When the build is fully done, than it can do all in-atlas side content with ease! This build cannot do SIMULACRUMS, T17 MAPS & UBER MODE Pinnacle bosses! for all of these you will want to run more expensive builds. IF DONE RIGHT, this is a very strong build! My Siege Ballista version is PRETTY CHEAP, TANKY, has GREAT DPS / AOE CLEARS THIS IS A 100% NOOB FRIENDLY BUILD BUILD GUIDE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI01DMDahcM ** the build guide shows you how to BUY & CRAFT the rare items yourself ( so that you don't overpay! ) If you want to push this build further -> Go Check "THE UPGRADES" section from the Siege Ballista build guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11qb1NGOR14 DO NOT OVERPAY FOR YOUR ITEMS! Again, Go Check the Siege Ballista build guide in order to see how to craft your items! ( there is a timestamp on how to craft your rares ) For League Start scenario progression I have a full guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIUy2o0m4TQ Guide on how to get cheap Timeless Jewels yourself: "PoE 2024 - HOW TO GET YOUR TIMELESS JEWELS CHEAPER // LEAGUE START SCENARIO & THE NORMAL METHOD" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqyFu_iB-Kg If you have questions or need further help, you can join my Discord server here: ( There is a dedicated Siege Ballista channel & hundreds of people making this build already! ) https://discord.gg/CnXzKssuDn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMON MISTAKES: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This build does a lot of damage even on a budget. If you do low DPS or die often in your maps means you messed it up! ( some ) people just rush for the POB and skip all my warnings and explanations from the BUILD GUIDE video regarding Siege Ballista and its special interactions. Don't do that! 1) NOT TAKING DEXTERITY ON THE RARE ITEMS! ( most common problem ) 2) NOT TAKING "POINT BLANK" KEYSTONE / NOT USING A "Sleepless Sentries" Medium Cluster jewel ( TIP: buy it 4 or 5 Passives because it will save you 1 Skill Point ) 3) NOT HAVING 20% QUALITY ON THE SIEGE BALLISTA SKILL GEM ( This is a BIG DPS LOSS! ) 4) USING A LOW LEVEL SIEGE BALLISTA SKILL GEM. ( If you use a low level skill gem you deal POO-POO DPS & YOUR TOTEMS DIE FAST ) 5) NOT UNLOCKING THE LABS. YOU SHOULD NOT ENTER MAPPING PHASE WITHOUT THE FIRST 3 LABS UNLOCKED! ( There is a BIG reason why we picked HIEROPHANT for this build concept! ) 6) NOT USING THE RIGHT FLASKS, NOT USING FRENZY, NOT HAVING THE FRENZY SETUP CORRECTLY ( to summon the golem & curse with Frostbite ) 7) DOING SOMEONE ELSE'S SIEGE BALLISTA VARIATION AND COMPLAINING HERE! As explained, I tested all the variations possible for Siege Ballista and it took me quite some time to come up with this version. WHEN FINISHED, WE CAN DO ALL MAP MODIFIERS ( including no regen, elemental reflect! ), ALL EATER OF WORLDS ALTARS, WE ARE TANKY, SOLID DPS FOR ALL T16 IN-MAP CONTENT & MOST IMPORTANT -> THE BUILD IS VERY CHEAP TO MAKE ( Especially with league start prices! ) EXTRA TIPS: -Check if STRENGTH is HIGHER THAN INTELLIGENCE on your Fractal Thoughts ( helmet ). If Intelligence is higher you will not get that extra 15% increased dexterity! -If you plan doing very juiced T16 maps, you will need to have an elemental resistance overcap ( more elemental resistances than needed; the more you have: the better! ). This is because we have map modifiers, altars modifiers, league mechanic modifiers & monster modifiers that can drastically shred your resistances up to NEGATIVE! -There are plenty of upgrades that you can do! Remember to check the Siege Ballista build guide and skip to the "The Upgrades / Push The Build!" TIMESTAMP to see what you can do next. [READ] ** In the 3.25 PATCH NOTES they removed "IRONWOOD" notable. Because of this change we will need to use either A GRANITE FLASK // or RUMI's CONCOCTION with 12% chance to block roll! Good luck! )
